Time for
a trip to
the north again. My choice is Sälen to
fit the weather on saturday. The peak will be Hundfjället.
Here are the skislopes from
625m and the top cabin,
200 altitude meters above. |
From
750m, Trysilfjellen in Norway are clearly visible.
They are 45km to the
northeast, reaching 1132m. |
I reach the top cabin at 825m, after 30min.
This is a slow walk, no stress today. There are no people here, the ski
season is over and all lifts are
closed.

From the top cabin it´s another
2km with
gentle climb to
the summit cairn. The official altitude is 925m. I find
it a
little odd, my altitude meter shows 20-30m higher. Well,
they
should have measured this one properly I guess...
1h 15min to get up
here. |
The
weather is worse to the north, with some snow. It
shows I have made
the right choice coming here. I stay
half an hour at the summit, enjoying
the sun
and the views. Nobody else is up here. |
This
area has the most southerly "real mountains" in Sweden (reaching above
the treeline). I haven't been up here before and was a bit uncertain.
Would they be good enough? But it's a beautiful area, well worth a
visit. The
mountains are uncomplicated to climb and trek.

the south.. |
On the
way back to the ski lifts. Here are the ski slopes on Västra
Kalven. |
Back at
the parking place again. I descended the steep slope in this picture,
making my snowshoes show what they can do. The steel crampons made a
good job and there was no slipping.
